NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1995
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.
The Company's business is seasonal in nature and subject to general economic
conditions and other outside factors and, accordingly, its operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1995.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results Of Operations
Sales totaled $75.4 million in the first quarter, a 1-percent decline from
first-quarter 1994. An improvement in gross margins more than offset the
sales decline and reduced the first quarter loss to $700,000 (10 cents per
share) from $1.3 million (18 cents per share) for the same period of 1994.
The sales decline in the first quarter resulted from a 5-percent decrease in
consumer (DIY) sales which more than offset a 1-percent improvement in
professional contractor sales. Sales at comparable stores (stores in
operation prior to Jan. 1, 1994) were down 7 percent from the same period
of 1994, and resulted from a 14-percent decline in consumer sales and a
2-percent decrease in contractor sales. A slowdown in housing starts,
significantly lower selling prices for lumber, a slowdown in consumer
spending, and increased competition all combined to depress sales.
The sales mix for the first quarter of 1995 was 43-percent consumer sales
and 57-percent contractor sales compared to 45-percent consumer and
55-percent contractor for the first quarter of 1994.
Gross margins were 24.0 percent in the first quarter, an increase of
140 basis points from the depressed margins of first-quarter 1994. More
stability in the pricing of lumber and construction panels and a lower LIFO
charge were the primary causes of the margin increase.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 22.7 percent of sales in
the first quarter of 1995, compared with 22.6 percent of sales for the
corresponding period in 1994. Depreciation expense increased $300,000, or
17 percent, from first-quarter 1994 and reflects the six new stores added
during 1994.
The effective tax rate (federal and state) for first quarter 1995 was 40%,
compared to 38.5% for first quarter 1994. The effective income tax rate is
a function of the proportion of the Company's tax-exempt interest and other
non-deductible expenses in relation to taxable income.
Financial Condition
At March 31, 1995, the Company's balance sheet remains strong. Net working
capital at March 31, 1995 totaled $59.4 million, compared to $58.2 million
at March 31, 1994. The current ratio at March 31, 1995 was 2.4 to 1,
compared to 2.2 to 1 at March 31, 1994, and 2.8 at December 31, 1994.
Cash and cash equivalents were $14.1 million at March 31, 1995, compared to
$12.4 million at March 31, 1994 and $22.1 million at December 31, 1994. The
liquidity ratio was .32 to 1, compared to .26 to 1 at March 31, 1994, and .61
to 1 at December 31, 1994.
The major use of cash in the first quarter was for the seasonal buildup of
inventories, which increased $14.3 million from year-end 1994. The increase
in inventory was financed primarily by $11 million of short-term borrowings.
The Company expects that funds from operations and available lines of credit
should be adequate to meet future working capital needs and capital
expenditures for 1995.
Invested capital (long-term debt and shareowner's equity) was equal to 75% of
total assets at March 31, 1995, compared to 72% at March 31, 1994, and 78% at
year-end 1994. The ratio of equity to total assets was .59 to 1 at March 31,
1995, compared to .54 to 1 at March 31, 1994, and .61 to 1 at year end 1994.
Outlook
The negative factors affecting first-quarter sales are expected to influence
sales for the balance of 1995. As a result, 1995 will be a difficult year
in which to achieve record sales or equal last year's profits. The Company
is focusing its time and energy on improving the competency and commitment of
its people to generate outstanding customer service. The Company is striving
to better execute its strategy of selling project sales that involve the
major purchase of products such as lumber, basic building materials, millwork,
and kitchen cabinets. The Company's challenge is to become leaner and
stronger and better positioned for renewed growth.
